We're a family of 4 based in the North East of England and welcome you to follow us on our frugal journey from street house to small holding, fast food to self sufficiency (well as much as possible) and shop bought to home made. The highs and lows will all be recorded with lots of pictures along the way. From livestock to veggies and rides out on the horses to countryside walks with the dogs, we plan on making the most of every minute.

Guest post!

Hi my name is Grace. I am 10 years old and

I love living at the farm house with all of my animals.

I am so lucky to live here with my wonderful family.

Here is a picture of the pigs.

They have grown lots since we first bought them.

My mam was getting the ducklings food when she got this picture of them.

because if there is any food in sight of the pigs then they

will squeal until you give them the food or if they're hungry they will also squeal about that.

they are going outside soon and in August we will hopefully be getting goats.

Today, when we were opening the goose shed we found some

baby gosling's under the mams wing and she will soon be hatching some more.

The other mam is sat on some eggs as well ,so hopefully she is going to hatch some goslings too.

We also have some goose eggs in the incubator which might hatch ,as well as what the mams are hatching.

I am so excited that we have baby goslings. We had some goslings last

year and they were all off the same mam and it all went really well last

year , so hopefully it will all go well this year.

Here are the chickens all having a big feed.

The dark brown hen is my favourite chicken

and her name is Jess. She is 11 years old and she survived

when the fox came in the night ,but that was in the old house.

The brown chicken in front of her is called big bertha also survived

when the fox came.

They all enjoy a big feast.

And here is a chicken hiding in my pony's hay.

I think she making a nest to lay a egg for us to eat.

Yum yum...

That is it for now ,so thank you for reading my little blog post

and I just can't wait to see if I have got any comments on my blog and I am sure
